Described and illustrated in Tynell (1913-1921) as a baptismal font of sandstone that had been moved to the Lunds universitets historiska museum. Noted and illustrated in the SHM Medeltidens bildvärld [ref.: 940920F11] as a baptismal font made of sandstone ca. 1200 by a regional workshop; it is reportad as weathered, damaged and with cement rpairs, some secondary paint on it. No cover present. The font consists of two blocks: a plain and crudely made tub-shaped basin and a tound-to-square base shaped like a cushion capital, with crude mouldings around the arch-heads. The present baptismal font in the church was designed by Gustaf Widmark, of Helsingborg and donated to the church in 1957. There are two baptismal dishes, one, of brass, was made in Nuremberg in the 16th-century and has a central scene of St. George, with an inscription and other motifs; the other is plainer, a blank centre and fruit and foliage around the sides.
